Phone call with a GP to progress my request for an ADHD referral.
He's running through a tick list he has to complete before he can send off the referral.
Me: "....and a history of financial problems related to this, and it probably fed into my divorce."
Him: "Okay, fab."
😅

Ah, my mom would have absolutely loved this latest from Randy Rainbow. We bonded a LOT over @randyrainbow.bsky.social's videos.
Sad I can't share it with her but at least she was spared seeing how much more shit things have become in the last few months.

Seems appropriate to re-witness the birth of America onstage as the real life version declines into a fiery sunset of its own making.

I can't remember the password to a website. I do the 'forgotten password' process and they send me an email saying 'click this link to reset,' and the link is (a) not a link, and (b) broken.
Frustrating, but also good to know I'm not the only numpty in this equation!

I'm Duolingo-ing Italian and keep mixing up costa and costano.
And every time - every time - I find myself saying, out loud and almost against my own will, 'Costanza!'
Apparently I am not the master of my domain.

In a Teams chat with five other people, and each one described the mug they’re drinking out of. I said mine reads “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” and *not one* of them knew the reference.

Please either:
a) talk me down from buying *another* pair of Cons that I definitely don't need, if you define 'need' in the usual way
b) remind me that none of my existing collection feature this adorable double-platform and therefore it does suggest an innovative interpretation of the word 'need'

Have put a request through with the GP - once again - for a formal assessment for ADHD.
This time, my form was simply an invitation to one of my gigs, as they'll have a laugh *and* will come out of there and go 'yep.'
Just doing my bit to reduce the strain on the NHS.
